John Adams of Harford, Pa. is considered to be the earliest-born person photographed. He was born Jan. 22, 1745 in Worcester, Ma. and died at the age of 104. His daguerreotype was taken in 1846.
There are other contenders though, especially a slave named Ceasar of Bethlehem, N.Y. who was said to be 114 when he died in 1852. Ceasar is said to be the last person to be subject to legal slavery in the North.
